Hey fellas. New to this forum here. I usually only smoke pipe on the weekends with my beverages. Until now it's been just cobs but I have the urge to indulge in something a bit more substantial. I really dog the bulldog type look and speed this Peterson line that caught my eye. Anyone have experience with the Rosslares? Thanks.

I have no Roslares, but they sure are beauties aren't they? I'm going to have to add that to my list of future hopefuls.
Welcome to the forums. Like mso, I am very happy with my Petersons. I actually have 2 Rosslares and I love them. Be aware, there are two Rosslare lines: Classic and Royal. The Royals are pricier and higher end. In fact the Rosslare Royals are considered the low-end of the High End Petersons.
I recommend James Fox Dublin if you want a Rosslare Royal for the same price of a Classic in the U.S.
Here are mine:

Welcome to the forum!
I have a Peterson Rossalare Royal Irish Sandblasted Billiard (106) and it is a great pipe. The citrus stem looks way better in person than on websites. It is an easy task to keep the stem clean: I run a pipe cleaner dabbed in some everclear (common name for liquor store grain alcohol) once in a while, and the smoke that might darken the airway comes spotlessly clean (is removed that is).
Peterson makes great pipes, I have 8 of them, 3 are 2013 and 2014 purchases, and all of them are great burners.

The bulldog is a great classic shape and Peterson does those as well as anyone. Good luck with your pursuit and welcome to the Forum.
Thanks guys. I may have to go with the royal. That's sharp. Is that an army mount type deal there?
I've been happy with my Petersons, including the ones of recent manufacture. I don't think you'll go wrong. And the Rosslare is, without question, a beautiful looking pipe. Enjoy!
Quick update. I chickened out and just got a couple forever stems instead. Perhaps later I will get my feet wet with a quality briar.
They are beauties. I have one like the bottom pic of Six, those are called Rosslare Royal Irish, they have a piece of silver wrapped around the tenon at the stem face, like a faux spigot. Never seen a spigot Rosslare in person.
I would try to find an estate one, as the new ones I have seen have bare bowls and take forever to break in ......
